Enclosed , you won't notice the wind drag till you get up around 70 or so,
but will keep your car outa the weather and a lot safer plus good for campin

 

Wishing I would have gone enclosed now. Can work as a make shift toy hauler as well.

 

Enclosed is the way to go IMHO...

 

Enclosed....keep your machine inside out of the elements and also keeps your machine safer from theft. Years ago I had my 900 on a open trailer, stopped at an In-N-Out burger and when I came out I discovered some items missing.

 

Sounds like you are doing some serious traveling so I would say enclosed is the only way to go for all the reasons mentioned above. I would suggest getting a V-nosed trailer and keep it to a minimum height to help with fuel mileage and drag.

 

Enclosed, I have both and for day trips the open trailer is handy but on over night trips enclosed is the only way to go.

 

Enclosed keeps your rig out of the weather and you can store all your gear in there safe and locked up too

 

There are some advantages to open. I can move mine around by hand when I need to position to attach, it is so much lighter. It also cost a lot less.

 

I went with a 20' open cause I do mostly local trips and open is much easier to clean the mud off. It's was also cheaper and I can use it for hauling cars, lumber, or whatever but if I did overnight trips or went farther I would have got enclosed and just dealt with washing the mud out of it every time.

 

What are you pulling it with? Enclosed all alum is gonna be pricey. But if you have a 3/4 ton or bigger wind drag won't matter one bit.

I miss my flatbed every now and then when I want to haul lumber or stuff loaded by forklift. But enclosed is the way to go if you can pull it

 

I have an open , but I wish I had gotten an enclosed. NO worries when parked, day or night.

got a 18 fool open with a ramp for 1k...i would like a enclosed but at the prices for a 18 foot enclosed i feel like just buying a toy hauler for the long trips and keeping my open one for the day trips.

 

I have an open Aluma trailer. Great trailer and light Then the wife said she would like to get some thing that we could stay in. So I'm having a custom all aluminum 22 foot enclosed trailer made by inTech trailers. Both trailers have their advantages. If I was doing mostly day trips I would keep the Aluma open trailer. We will now be doing over night trips so the enclosed route works for us.

 

No question...Enclosed Dual Axle with brakes. Get yourself a Trailer Valet for $300 to easily move it around.

 

What trailer is that?

 

i went with a flatbed, due to fact i have a small farm tractor i also need to haul and didnt want to buy 2 trailers
